Heinrich Heine
Phraseologism: World sorrow.
Meaning: About someone's gloomy appearance, bad mood, despondency, etc. (jokingly ironic).
Origin: From German: Weltschmerz. From the unfinished work "Selina, or on Immortality" (published 1827) by the German satirist Jean Paul (pseudonym J.-P. Richter, 1763-1825), who used this expression, speaking of "the countless torments of people." As the Russian poet and translator Pyotr Isaevich Weinberg (1830-1908) wrote in his article "The Poetry of World Sorrow" (1895), world sorrow is "sorrow for the imperfections of the world, for the disorder in it and for the suffering of mankind." The expression became especially popular after the publication of the article "From the exhibition of paintings in 1831." the German poet Heinrich Heine, who, speaking of the painting by the artist Delaroche "Oliver Cromwell at the body of Charles I", wrote: "What great world grief the master expressed in a few lines!"
Random phraseology:

Origin:
From the poem "Atomic Tale" by the poet Yuri Polikarpovich Kuznetsov (b. 1941).

He "opened her white royal body and started an electric current": "In long agony she was dying - // In every vein the centuries were knocking! // And a smile of knowledge played // On the fool's happy face." |

Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men
14.04.2024
The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive The brightest galaxy in the universe discovered
26.11.2018
Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have discovered the brightest galaxy in the universe. Galaxy W2246-0526 receives energy by absorbing three dwarf neighbors at once. The material that an object receives as a result of absorption, and allows it to glow so brightly.
It is noted that the galaxy was discovered back in 2015. It is not the most massive known galaxy, but it glows 350 trillion times brighter than the Sun. If all galaxies were the same distance from Earth, W2246-0526 would be the brightest.
With the help of new data, the researchers were able to establish that the galaxy is "stealing" energy from its satellites. At the moment, scientists cannot say whether dwarf galaxies will manage to break out of this chain or whether they will be completely absorbed.
The researchers emphasize that most of the galaxy's brightness does not come from stars, but from matter that orbits a supermassive black hole located at its center. The mass of a black hole exceeds the mass of the Sun by four billion times. Matter falls into the black hole, heats up to millions of degrees, and emits light.
